Second, the requirement that the recall turnout equals the turnout in the original election stacks the deck in favor of incumbents, and it should be scrapped. The general elections bear the imprimatur of the Undergraduate Council, our nominally representative student government. The elections themselves are promoted ad nauseum by the council and a compliant press—not to mention exhortations to vote from hopeful candidates. A recall election could not hope to get this much free publicity. Representatives facing removal need not even defend themselves against the charges leveled against them in order to survive the recall. In fact...

...College should also clarify the disciplinary consequences for underage drinking so that students know not to hesitate in emergency situations before enlisting the help of those with disciplinary power. On the whole, penalties are neither unreasonable nor particularly severe. “Students almost never come before the Ad Board merely for getting drunk,” according to Assistant Dean of the Faculty David B.
